S.H.I.E.L.D. #5

Bathed in an ominous deep crimson, Julian Totino Tedesco's cover for this 2015 Marvel series places a striking, intense woman front and center — her glowing eyes and swirling supernatural energy suggesting something far beyond ordinary espionage. Below her looming presence, a squad of agents clashes in a frenetic melee, weapons drawn and bodies in motion, hinting at the layered action inside "Magic Bullets." Inspired by the hit TV series and crafted by writer Mark Waid with art by Mike Choi, this is S.H.I.E.L.D. operating where super-spycraft meets something decidedly more uncanny.
